This paper explores issues related to human–computer interaction with the new class of machine-learning systems that represent an exciting development on the frontiers of information technology. These systems represent a ...

The design of a head-mounted display with a field of view of 40 degrees and suitable for use with a micro display of 17.5 mm diagonal is presented. It is a combination of a diffractive-refractive eyepiece with an appropriate ...

Two kinds of hybrid diffractive-refractive ultra-wide-angle (70°) eyepieces are designed which are with considerably reduced apparent size and weight and with comparable or improved aberrations as compared with the ...

This paper presents a techno-economic assessment for a unique Isolated Hybrid Power System (IHPS) design for remote areas isolated from the grid which also has the capability of being operated as a smart μ-grid. The share ...

The objective of the study was to investigate the hydration status and fluid balance of elite European youth soccer players during three consecutive training sessions. Fourteen males (age 16.9 ± 0.8 years, height 1.79 ± ...

The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of anthropogenic and natural sources of contamination on the groundwater quality of the upper unconfined aquifer system of the Chad Basin around Maiduguri. This has ...

Abundant marine biomass in coastal regions has continued to attract increasing attention in recent times as a possible source of renewable energy. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of hydrolytic pre-treatment for ...

We describe high-precision computations of the Pearcey integral Pe(x,y) for real x and y by means of Hadamard expansions. Numerical results for (x,y) situated in different regions of the x,y-plane are given to illustrate ...

Background: At what point does “not telling” become “not knowing”? Previous research has shown that Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects people's ability to define words—primarily, it has been thought, because AD destroys the ...

The memory conformity effect is when people’s memories become similar to one another’s following a discussion. The present study examined whether an individual’s beliefs in the quality of their memory, relative to another ...

Interpersonal influences on cognition can distort memory judgements. Two experiments examined the nature of these ‘social’ influences, and whether their persistence is independent of their accuracy. Experiment 1 found that ...

Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated gene product (ATM) is a 350 kDa Serine/Threonine kinase belonging to the family of Phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase like kinases. ATM functions as a key element in DNA Damage Response (DDR), a ...

Ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (UBCs) selectively target proteins for proteasomal degradation by the covalent attachment of ubiquitin moieties. Yeast UBC6 is unusual in having an active site distinct from all other UBCs and ...

This paper describes an experiment to identify volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from a range of three bacteria and one yeast strain that had previously been shown to be inhibitory to selected sapstain fungi. The bacteria ...
